 # The settings here will apply to all sections as general defaults
 # This is a good place to add general library and include directories like
 # /usr/local/{lib,include}
+# These settings apply when they are not overridden in the sections below.
+# Note that the standard paths (e.g. `/usr/lib`) are not searched if you
+# override these settings, unless they are explicitly included.
+# The ``:`` is os.pathsep, which may vary on windows
